• As between Li-Cycle and Glencore, such Black Mass shall be considered “Glencore Committed Black Mass” under the terms of the Black Mass Offtake Agreement, and Li-Cycle and Glencore shall enter into separate “Black Mass Sale Agreements” with respect to such Black Mass under the terms of the Black Mass Offtake Agreement.

• The Parties specifically acknowledge and agree that (as set out in Section 1 of the Traxys Black Mass Agreement) all decisions concerning Spoke operations and the timing and quantity of Black Mass available for sale shall be made by the North America Seller, in its sole and absolute discretion.

• As between Li-Cycle and Glencore, for the purposes of the Black Mass Offtake Agreement, Glencore agrees that North America Seller shall pay Glencore (or its applicable affiliate) a marketing fee equal to [XXX] for such Black Mass, and such fee shall be deemed to be the “Black Mass Marketing Fee” for the purposes of such sales only.
